From the age of 15, while still a student, F. Khaleghi Yazdi began to realize his dream of establishing a successful aviation business on par with other successful business ventures in Western Europe. Using his time and energy to maximum benefit, consciously organizing different parts of the brain to independently and simultaneously execute, under time management and logistic techniques, Dr. Yazdi was able to manage a goal oriented schedule combining business and academic study.
